gossip-mongers, hypochondriacs & what-nots

sigh. the people & pace in HK really drives me crazy.

it's just another typical day. people squeezing and shoving in the MTR train. people who abso-effing-lutely have to read their morning gossip papers in the sardine can-like environment of the train carriage, thus shoving their rag mags into the faces/arms/back/(fill in whatever applies according to victim's height in relation to perpetrator's height). people running across the platform although there is no awaiting train there. people running to be the first to reach the escalator, only to stand on the right side of the escalator to read their gossip rags. GAH!!!

and then, after having to climb up 4 storeys to the lobby of my office building, more annoyance. people who simply refuse to press the "Close" button on the lift panel even thought they are right in front of it. simply refuse. meanwhile, yours truly will try to squeeze the way to the front so as to punch the "Close" button repeatedly while giving said perpetrators a "tsk" look. and today, ho! there was a man whom i believe is a hypochondriac. he used his key to press the floor button, and refused to hold the door open for others trying to get out of the lift by pressing the "Open" button. i wanted to induce a sneeze that will conveniently fall on his hand just to see his reaction. kidding!

anyways, enough of ranting. as an aside note, i'm curious as to whether the army camouflage print is back in trend. in the space of 2 seconds on the escalator, i saw someone wearing pants in said print, another wearing a top in said print, and yet another holding a bag in said print. hmm.
